Decklist Ex Machina #6 Bread Makes you Fat?

Coming up with fun decklists so you don't have to.

This deck I'm about to unveil has a lot of things going for it. It's cheap, easy to get a hold of, fun to play with, noob friendly, it eats garlic bread, and it works whether you want to run it in one-on-one or in group play. I'm not talking about a hooker but the similarities are staggering. This deck belongs to none other than Wafflesaurus/Raii. Raii prefers the tactic of beating face until it cracks open and this deck does that rather nicely. The two of us tweaked this to where it is now and it still needs more playtesting but it's come a long way in just a week. This started as the Worldwake Brute Force precon and evolved into what you see below.

Strengths: You'll be turning your enemies into dust. They can tell it to the cleaning lady on Monday... because she has the weekends off... and she cleans dust.___________This deck manages to constantly lay down threats whether it's turn one or turn forty (hypothetically speaking if a game were to actually last that long though it really shouldn't). The longer the match, the more powerful the creatures become. This is actually the reason this deck can roll with the punches so well in multiplayer.

The addition of burn and creatures capable of pinging (Mr. Hydra) allow this deck to either frag creatures to clear the way for swinging into face or simply go overhead and take out the opponent twice as fast.

It's able to drop a Terastodon on turn five rather consistently. Not only does it take out Planeswalkers and other threats on the field but it can also replace some of your lands with 3/3 tokens if you just happen to need an army.

This deck doesn't rely on an elf tribal theme but instead uses elves as a sub-theme. If your elves get destroyed then it's no big deal but if they survive then they bring another route to victory. A fully leveled Joraga Treespeaker turns Sylvan and Farhaven into mana boosters and a multi-kicked Joraga Warcaller turns all would-be chump blockers into deadly threats.

Weaknesses: Vegans, because vegans are just better than other people.___________In testing, this deck can actually hold its own against most decktypes. The faster aggro and combo decks seem to be the problem children since the deck takes a few turns to establish itself and merely throws out chump blockers before it can setup for something heavy.

Yeah, I really love this deck. It's really a good deck mostly because it's my first deck that I really got to put a lot of myself into it, and because it works very well in both single and multiplayer matches. Right on!
